I am from canada. I need help to resolve a mistery.
My grand-grand fathers was sailing on a boat between 1885
and 1890. When he and his two friends arrive, they jumped the boat and start ed a new life here at the fishing town called Tadoussac.
I did all the research I had to do here in canada but Hendry
Robertsen stayed a deep enigma.
He lived here 25 years and hided all about his past life.
I been searching in the archives of Canada but i could'nt find
nothing except some names of boats i can't identified
If only I could find the name of the vessel they vogued.
I'm looking to identifiate a men i found listed as Henrick Hansen son of ROBERT ANTON HANSEN
Mother: MAREN JULIE JOHANSDR
Christening: 22 NOV 1868 Tune, Ostfold, Norway
Following the norwegien naming pattern, that man should be list as Henrick Robertsen.
In comparison my old parent signed Hendry Robertsen in Canada in 1893 and could be that same man called Henrick Hansen or Robertsen who been listed as perish at sea.
Maybe he could have just jump out of the boat to swim and established him and his friend in Canada where they made an other life.
The name of the two companions was Gunder Olsen son of Olaus Olsen and Inger Marie Jacobsen from Tonsberg and Christian Josefsen son of Joseph Andersen and Tonette Olsdr
from Andebu(vestfold) borned 11 march 1874.
All i need is the boat they been voguing on, but any other information would be welcome.
From Canada, Stef
